How much is this sorta thing?

sold a small case diff to me as a m3 diff - total time waster and if you want pal ill be happy to pop round and sort this out if you want, so keep winding me up little boy!

hi all
just wondering if anyones made this and would consider making a few as i know 3 other zoners that would be happy to buy if anyone can make some up at a fairly resonable price?

going of the 2 pm's ive got its not the 1st time hes conned someone

bought a m3 lsd from bob for Ã‚£250 and did querry the size of the diff but as he had so many diffs taken apart in his garage i assumed he knows more then me got the diff home and it was a small case diff which barely fit and also in the 1st 5 miles it leaked from the prop side told him about it but...

nah just me and a mate both wana carry out this conversion
he has a touring and i want to do this to my sport
i see you have a 24v 2.8 in your e30,we're both not ready to go through as much with wiring and the rest of it

thanks for that dan
just hope its all fairly straight forward
now gotta get the heads on ebay as we got 2 complete m52 engines

how difficult is it to fit the double vanos crank?
does anyone do the machining thats required as me and my mate are both doing this so may be easier to get the machining done and the spacer made from the same place?

think ill be going down the 2.8 route too

just checked on the website and its warwickshire and is just south of coventry
definately looks like a nicer place then donnington

hi anyone know if donnigton show has passed or coming up
santa pod was so good im going to them all in my area

so are we saying the rods from the m52b28 will do the job?or do they have to be the m20b20 rods?

thanks alot for that will put up pics when i get mine done
i was worried about the spacer but seeing ed325i's pic it looks fairly straight forward.
do i use the rods of my old 325i or do i need m20 320i rods?
thanks

lol sorry mate im from leicester

from the midlands mate
i know of another zoner from near me thats also would be interested in the spacer so dunno if we can get some knocked up on a group buy?
got any ideas on what sorta power it would bring in standard form?

hi all
i just wondered if anyones tried this conversion
what are the gains in standard spec?
also is anyone making the spacer thats needed on the crank?
any info would be great

thanks

i got a 528i m52 engine out of a 1999 low miler car with was an auto and as im keeping the bottom end i wanted to know what its worth?
any1 got any ideas?

cool i got a spare head for 1 of these if anyone knows what its worth cause after reading this im keeping the bottom end either for my m50 or my m20

got no idea what the heads worth?

with using the crank from the m52 in the 2.5 m50 what other changes need to be made?
does anything need to be done to the timing or is it a case of just getting an uprated chip?

is this m52 engine double vanos then?

http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/enumber.html

i thought it was double vanos but if its not then makes it better for me as i can fit an entire m52 easier then a m54 as i dont wana much about with that fly by wire stuff

thanks guys

thanks mate

ive now bought the m54 2.8 and have been told it dont fit because of its vanos and fly by wire pedals (these parts have gone on the car) and all i can do is either mate the block to a m50 head or use the crank in my original m20?? will it mate to the m50 head? if not will the m54 crank go into my m2...

hi i have a mate with a 1999 528i and his cars been totalled from the side and so i can have the engine at a decent price but will it go into my sport? if the engine wont go in complete then will a m54 crank fit either a m50 or a m20? i may consider getting a m50 as dont want too much hassle but if ...

id like to know the same but if a M54b28 cranks and rods and pistons fit a m50b25

hi i have a mate with this diff and says i can have it but what i need to know is how to fit it and will it hold a 325's power the diffs is smaller then the 325's medium case diff but i have been told many times it will fit if i change the output flanges?? does anyone know anything about doing this?...

hi im thinking of getting a compact diff for my m50 touring but at the mo as i cant find a lsd I'm thinking of getting a compact diff but i need to know will it need any modifications like changing the output wheels or does it slot straight into a 325?
thanks for reading

mines not a small lsd its the medium case that fits 325's and cost way more then a Ã‚£100 mate

i had a mk1 golf years ago and same used to happed because the engine mounts had gone and were loose?maybe that can help bruv

hi all does anyone know how to whether its a difficult task to take the lsd pack out of 1 diff and fit it to a open diff? is there a guide to this? reason i want to do this is because i cant find a lsd with a ratio of about 3.25 and the m3 diff is too hard and too expensive to find also the diff im ...

is there any markings or the S on the tag?

kinda feel abit silly now as i went to buy a z3 2.8 diff the other day and as i did what i thought was the right test i didnt buy and acused the guy of time wasting

so am i right in thing if you turn the input,both outputs turn in same direction then its a lsd?

whats a torsen diff as i went to see 1 the other day and as i turned the input shaft and held 1 of the outputs, the other output turned and this isnt possible on my standard e30 lsd
so is that torsen?
oh and thanks for the help lads

i know they fit just didnt think they were all lsd's thought some are open diffs?
